Hey twin cities friends!
There’s a new website for the Mn Rapid Response network, now called Monarca.
It has the hotline to call if you see 🧊 activity as well as Know Your Rights information and lists upcoming community trainings.
A great resource. Please share widely!

I encourage you to shut everything off and watch this gorgeous movie.
It’s so achingly beautiful and has no business being on Netflix.
Same director as Sing Sing.

sounding the "one of the best American movies of the year" alarm because Train Dreams is on Netflix today www.avclub.com/train-dreams...
Train Dreams persist through changing times in ethereal, awestruck drama
Train Dreams is a thoroughly engrossing period piece of dreamy details, quietly told and expertly performed.

These are great! Note: even public businesses can put up signs indicating private/employee-only areas. Page 5 of the "Know Your Rights" guide on the Monarca page has some concise info about this!
KYR still matters, even if *they* aren't respecting it.

What I know for sure? There is legit fear in the eyes of these agents. I saw it last week. Armed to the teeth. And yet.

we are gonna find that 80% of these firms are 3 days old and owned by an LLC out of a florida apartment that holds 10 other LLCs all registered to a Republican lobbyist
NEW: ICE has torn up its $180M cap on a proposed immigrant-tracking program and is now guaranteeing private surveillance firms at least $7.5M each, with potential payouts reaching $281M per vendor. The change signals a shift from “pilot” to full-scale outsourcing of street-level investigative work.

I want to point out a new resource page on Monarca website.
Small (or large!) businesses can post signs saying ICE/CBP must have a warrant to enter premises.
Also Know Your Rights signs for targeted people.

Also, Gen Z is getting gassed, beaten and shot by ice & cops at ice facilities. Where are the boomers?
They prefer safe action with the most modest aims. Young people are galvanized by calls for replacing irredeemable systems. And they take risks the olds aren’t willing to take.
